Kronos gives divers a clear view by routing bubbles to the side with an innovative side exhaust deflector, versus traditional regulators that put a curtain of bubbles in front of a diver's face.
Kronos solves these issues by keeping the exhaust valve in the conventional downward position and adding the patented Side 'X deflector. This design gives the diver consistency of optimum exhalation effort and the ability to exhaust in any underwater position.
Kronos also resists freezing during cold water dives with Aqua Lung's exclusive heat exchanger system. The heat of a diver's exhaled breath passes over the heat exchanger, effectively warming the valve and the cold compressed air for comfortable breathing.
For simplifying the adjustment of the regulator's injection and opening resistance, Kronos' patented Dual Cam combines the controls for the venturi setting and cracking effort into one knob. With a simple quarter turn, the diver can go from easy breathing with a venturi boost to less sensitivity without the venturi boost. The latter being most effective when the regulator is out of the mouth. The Dual Cam brings simple, fast and effective performance adjustment to the Kronos regulator.
The Kronos first stage incorporates all the latest innovations from Aqua Lung. The regulator features a compact, in-line balanced diaphragm mechanism with the Auto Closure Device (ACD). This unique spring-loaded feature effectively seals the regulator anytime that it is not connected to the air tank, simplifying maintenance and eliminating the threat of corrosion. The first stage also boasts ports for any accessory and hose configuration, with 2 high-pressure and 4 medium-pressure ports.
Other features include:
- New asymmetrical Side-X exhaust system (pat. pend.) routes bubbles out of your viewing area
- Even though the exhaust bubbles are routed out the side, the exhaust valve remains in the traditional location providing consistent, dry exhalation
- Exhaled breath passes over the second stage valve effectively warming it, thereby making it resistant to freezing
- The venturi control and breathing resistance knob have been integrated into one Dual Cam controller (pat. pend.). Divers can now achieve ideal settings with less to think about
- Aqua Lung’s Auto-Closure Device ACD (pat. pend.) seals water out of the first stage when the regulator is removed from the cylinder
- The first stage is a balanced diaphragm design coupled with a pneumatically balanced second stage
- Two HP ports and four MP ports provide the diver with many options
- Comes with a Comfo-bite mouthpiece, a standard spare mouthpiece and a removable mouthpiece clamp
-
Compatible with EAN 40 new, out of the box
- Supreme version is also available for diving in waters colder than 50 degrees F / 10 degrees C
